Love the Isaiah Thomas pick. I've mocked him to the Panthers with their late 4th round selection.

Cade Mays could be decent depth. I especially like the value in the 7th.

I hate the rest of it tho.

I’ve mocked Thomas and Mays as well. Mays has played some center and has experience at all 5 positions

I am certain about this:  Nothing is certain.  It is not certain who we will pick, if that pick sucks or goes to Canton.  Just gotta hope for the best. 

NFL Network did a piece on "Twitter Rage" where they looked back at the tweets from the 2018 draft, for example.  Many People in Buffalo were outraged when the Bills selected the "wrong Josh" (they wanted Rosen).  So for those of you pretending to know who will be good and who will bust---I have this for you:  You could be wrong.  

There.  I said it.

Dang. In this draft, at their slot, only Mays in the 7th seems like we are getting above slot value.

FWIW, Brugler says in the description of the 6th pick that he’s not sold the Panthers are taking a QB:

 

6. Carolina Panthers: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh

There is zero consensus around the league on where the run on quarterbacks will start, so it is tough to feel confident about this projection. There’s a decent chance I won’t have a quarterback here in my final mock draft, but the Panthers haven’t been coy about their interest in the quarterback prospects in this class

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
